Ibiza Rocks releases their first line-up announcements

Ibiza Rocks turns five this summer and boy have they grown up!  The line up speaks volumes, with The Prodigy, Kele, Florence and the Machine, The Courteeners, Dizzee Rascal, Delphic, Calvin Harris, The Kooks, Pendulum and Example already booked for the summer long celebration. Taking place every Tuesday from 08 June to 14 September at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, it’s going to be one hell of a party, bursting with the biggest bands, DJ’s and best breakthrough talent, for 15 weeks straight. 

Ibiza Rocks kicks off the Ibiza season on Tuesday 08 June with some very special surprise guests at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel. June will also see one of the UK’s best live bands and festival favourities, The Courteeners swing through the hotel’s rock ‘n’ roll doors and storm the open-air stage. 

Back by popular demand in July are ‘Dance Wiv Me’ collaborators, Calvin Harris and Dizzee Rascal. Both have played stand out sets at Ibiza Rocks in the past, but this year they will make history as two of the acts to play both Mallorca Rocks and Ibiza Rocks back to back; two islands, for two amazing live gigs within two days. Calvin will be joined at both gigs by one of the best breakthrough artists of 2010, Example.

Dizzee Rascal said: ‘Can't wait to play Ibiza Rocks again this year. It was one of my best shows of 2009. It went off big time.’

Tuesday 20 July will see some serious sparks flying for the 5^th birthday party! Ibiza Rocks have pulled out all the stops to pull in the original Firestarters – The Prodigy!  Yes, the pioneers of Ibiza’s live music scene will celebrate with the pioneers of the electronic dance music scene.  With both parties making their name from mixing up dance and rock and delivering ‘Music For the Jilted Generation’, this is the perfect Ibiza Rocks 5^th Birthday party partnership. Happy Birthday indeed.

The third act to play both venues is multi-million selling band The Kooks who will make a welcome return to Ibiza Rocks in August.

In one of the coolest billings of the hottest summer line up, Ibiza Rocks is proud to announce that Kele Okereke from Bloc Party will perform one of his first ever live solo shows as part of his side project in August. Kele will be supported by one of the biggest breakthrough bands of the year, Delphic.

Following her debut onto the Ibiza Rocks stage as part of Radio 1’s Ibiza Weekend last year, August will see the return of Best British Album BRIT Award winner Florence and the Machine for her first headline show.

Pendulum will be back with their banging beats and electric live show in September and they’re sure to be on a high as they fly in straight from Mallorca, where they will have headlined the Mallorca Rocks closing party the night before. September will see another set of very special guests play live under the stars before the Ibiza Rocks 2010 season comes to close on 14 September. 

Along with the best line up to date, Ibiza Rocks boasts its best deals, with the continuation of specially priced midweek breaks for the more flexible traveller and added extras. This summer all holidays booked with www.ibizarocks.com include a gig ticket and entry to Ibiza Rocks’ new after party at Es Paradis.
